3、hentheywillprobablythinktwicebeforetheygivetheirconsenttothelossofanypartoftheirtime.1.諺語(yǔ)說(shuō):“時(shí)間就是金錢?!边@句話的意思是,一時(shí)片刻只要用得有效,都會(huì)讓我們的口袋增添一些錢。如果我們的時(shí)間使用得當(dāng),就能生產(chǎn)出有用的、重要的產(chǎn)品,在市場(chǎng)上賣得一定的價(jià)錢;就能充實(shí)經(jīng)驗(yàn),增長(zhǎng)才干,等到適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)來(lái)臨時(shí),我們就能掙得金錢。因此,毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),時(shí)間可以轉(zhuǎn)化為金錢。讓那些對(duì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間滿不在乎的人記住這一點(diǎn)。讓他們記住,浪費(fèi)一小時(shí)等于損失一張鈔票,而利用一小時(shí)就等于得到若干金銀。這樣,他們想浪費(fèi)時(shí)間時(shí)

6、喪失一天或一小時(shí)的生命。讓我們記住這一點(diǎn),這樣就會(huì)把浪費(fèi)時(shí)間看作一種罪過(guò),跟自殺一樣應(yīng)該受到懲罰。3.Thereisathirdconsiderationwhichwillalsotendtowarnusagainstlossoftime.Ourlifeisabriefspanmeasuringsomesixtyorseventyyearsinall,butnearlyonehalfofthishastobespentinsleep;someyearshavetobespentoverourmeals;someoverdressingandundressing;somei
